It's time for a special SHOW TUNE serenade for Marty Golden.....

I WAS JUST GIVEN AN EXCLUSIVE ABOUT A SIGHTING OF THE GREAT WHITE WHALE --- but I am sworn to secrecy.... Sorry 'bout that....

INSTEAD --- I thought that a show tune serenade for SSMG might be in order.....

From "West Side Story" (music by Lenny and words by Steve):

"Could
be!

Who
knows?There’s something’ due any day;I will know right awaySoon as it showsIt may come cannonballin’Down through the skyGleam in its eyeBright as a rose!Who knows?

It’s only just out of reachDown the block, on a beachUnder a treeI got a feelin’ there’s a miracle dueGonna come trueComin’ to me!

Could it be? Yes, it couldSomething’s coming, something goodIf I can wait!Something’s comin’, I don’t know what it isBut it isGonna be great!

With
a click, with a shockPhone’ll jingle, door’ll knockOpen the latch!Something’s comin’, don’t know whenBut it’s soonCatch the moonOne-handed catch!Around the cornerOr whistling’ down the riverCome on deliverTo me!

Will it be? Yes, it willMaybe just by holdin’ stillIt’ll be there!Come on, something, come on inDon’t be shyMeet a guyPull up a chair!

The air is hummin’And something great is comin’!Who knows?It’s only just out of reachDown the block, on a beachMaybe tonight

JUST AN IMAGE OF SIGHT AND SOUND THAT WOULD BE APPROPRIATE UNDER THESE EMERGENT CIRCUMSTANCES --- SOME SAY IT'S ALL COMING FROM THE TOP IN ALBANY AND IT'S FOCUSING ON ONLY ONE OR TWO FOLKS IN BAY RIDGE

.....but it's even much bigger; and certainly more complicated than that.....

Now, we sing [picture MArty G and his inner circle clustered in a dank cavern deep below the stately Bay Ridge Manor --- tightly surrounding a flickering bluish sterno flame, with the sound of dripping water in the background]:

"In the event of something happening to meThere is something I would like you all to seeIt's just a photograph of someone that I knew

[Chorus]Have you seen my wife, Mr. Jones?Do you know what it's like on the outside?Don't go talking too loud, you'll cause a landslide, Mr. Jones

I keep straining my ears to hear a soundMaybe someone is digging undergroundOr have they given up and all gone home to bedThinking those who once existed must be dead

[Chorus]Have you seen my wife, Mr. Jones?Do you know what it's like on the outside?Don't go talking too loud, you'll cause a landslide, Mr. Jones....."(Some guys named Gibb, a long time ago in a kingdom by the sea)

So far the only person who’s been spreading the rumor is a Golden supporter. It may be nonsense aimed at spooking Andrew, as the name being floated has the strongest name ID in Southwest Brooklyn and would actually put this seat in play.

IT SEEMS TO ME THAT ONLY ONE OR TWO COMMENTERS IMMEDIATELY ABOVE ARE ACTUALLY ONTO THE INFORMATION THAT HAD BEEN FED TO ME --- I'LL REITERATE A KEY PIECE OF THE PUZZLE.....

I am quoting from my own comment above: "SOME SAY IT'S ALL COMING FROM THE TOP IN ALBANY AND IT'S FOCUSING ON ONLY ONE OR TWO FOLKS IN BAY RIDGE... but it's even much bigger; and certainly more complicated than that...."

A little bird told me that the Brooklyn Reform Party was asked to hold back their 2018 slate until after this weekend. The reason --- juggling a few of the folks in the Reform and Democrat lineups to insert a big new bat in those batting orders right before the game starts.

Rumor has it that while this "name" really wants to run, the Cynthia Nixon supporting progressive types who have been his key advisers the last couple of years are trying to discourage him. If this person runs, in the short term the biggest losers will be Kassar and Tobman as the State GOP is sure to step in and tell Golden who his new campaign team is just like they did when he ran against this person the first time. Oops.

A brief term in the state senate, and then a Supreme Court Judgeship --- OR --- Supreme Court? Sure, maybe, next year, or the year after that, or the year after that, or the year after that, etc., etc., etc.

I only took the possibility seriously once you reported it GM then I did some digging and found out it’s possible. One of Marty’s supporters is all over Twitter telling people about it, which makes me wonder how serious it is. But you know about it and another Dem operative knows about it and now it’s all over the place.

I don’t know about winning easy but Team Golden (read BK Cons) have made so many enemies and alienated natural allies that Golden would have to raise and spend 2 million to have a chance of beating Gentile.

VINNY GENTILE'S MOST "PROGRESSIVE" ADVISORS DO NOT WANT HIM TO RUN FOR STATE SENATE --- IT LINES HIM UP AND PUTS HIM ON A "SLATE" WITH ANDREW CUOMO

Vinny isn't "thinking" about all of this alone, cloistered in his fortress of solitude. He's been solicited, hectored and warned about lots of stuff; and he has his own legitimate reservations. However, my sources indicated to me that some very big people are involved on the pro- side, and can get Vinny what he needs to make this work.

But, let's all wait >>> while Vinny channels his inner Hamlet a little while longer.....
